Thread: value on fert accounts

Any one have an idea what 6 application fert accounts under contract are worth? Talking 80-100 accounts. Does number of accounts available have any bearing on value? These jobs are right in the local market being served. I would call these good accounts as the apps are properly priced and the opportunity for upsells on seed and aeration are there.

If I were you, I would jump on that. Not only is there good money in fert, but there's a real window of opportunity for you in upscale selling...dethatching, aerating, overseeding, Spring & Fall clean-ups, bed maintenance, prunning, mulching, even mowing, etc.

As for how much they're worth, I would have no probelm offering 50%. Maybe more after I had a chance to look at some/all of the properties.

Rodfather, we don't do general maint, just fert and irrigation but it was a deal. Guy told me chemlawn offered $80 and I didn't pay that but I was a quick and hassle free deal for him.

I would have thought CL would have paid more. Maybe if he had a whole large company to sell. Or maybe the way they reatin anymore that is all they can afford. Wonder what it costs them in advertising and labor to get a new account?
